The fact that we have a history of rationalization was actually never questioned. Rather it was pointed out that it’s not the only thing that our minds do and that’s something you need to consider.

There are also humans who hallucinate. Studying this phenomenon is useful, yet, on its own, it’s says nothing about how human brain works in general.

I took issue with the example of aircraft airfoil design, probably too pedantically, due to the challenges technical individuals have had related to rationalizing the behavior, despite a mathematical explanation.

But I completely agree with your point that rationalization alone isn't sufficient. We struggle to describe the universe solely in words and rely on other tools to further describe phenomena.

How to provide AI models with these additional capacities isn't necessarily clear yet but there are some interesting ideas out there: https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2023/01/wolframalpha-as-...
